Wear This When You Can

Yesterday was the first truly warm, spring-like day we’ve had, and it was the first day I wore a pair of sandals without fearing that the temperature would drop 22 degrees before I reached the mailbox. I don’t wear nail polish often, but when I do, it’s usually only on my toes. So when I [...]

Open Canvas Bins

A PLACE FOR MY HIJABS Last week, one of my readers asked me to give a few pointers about how I keep my hijabs organized. If it weren’t for these canvas bins from The Container Store, I’m sure they would be scattered all over the house in an unruly fashion like high school kids on [...]

Getting Over Jane

FLAWLESS I used to use this translucent face powder by Jane for years (through high school and college), but after it ran out, I couldn’t find it anywhere. It literally disappeared off the shelves at like every drug store in America. When it comes to hair and make-up products, I don’t like change, so when [...]
